Hi, Is it possible to have the RemoveEmptyParagraphs flag handle removing empty lines that contain nothing but a <<TableStart_MyRegion>> or <<TableEnd_MyRegion>>?

For other merge fields, will it support removing blank lines caused by NULL values as well as blanks?

Thanks.

Hi

Thanks for your inquiry. I think that you can use MergeField event handler to achieve this. For example see the following code and attached documents.

public void Test253()

{

    //Create some datasource

    DataTable myTable = new DataTable("myTable");

    myTable.Columns.Add("field1");

    myTable.Columns.Add("field2");

    myTable.Columns.Add("field3");

    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)

    {

        myTable.Rows.Add(new object[] { i.ToString(), "Some data" + i.ToString(), "Some text" + i.ToString() });

    }

    //perform mailmerge

    Document doc = new Document(@"Test253\in.doc");

    doc.MailMerge.MergeField += new MergeFieldEventHandler(MailMerge_MergeField_253);

    doc.MailMerge.ExecuteWithRegions(myTable);

    doc.Save(@"Test253\out.doc");

}

void MailMerge_MergeField_253(object sender, MergeFieldEventArgs e)

{

    if (e.FieldName == "field1")

    {

        Table parentTable = (e.Field.Start.GetAncestor(NodeType.Table) as Table);

        //Remove empty paragraphs before and after table

        parentTable.NextSibling.Remove();

        parentTable.PreviousSibling.Remove();

    }

}

Hope this helps.

Best regards.
